new install / 921 upgrade

601 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  audiomaster
Dish is sending a contractor on Sat to replace my 921 with a 622. I've been reading-up on posts to try and get an idea of what to expect from the installer, just in case they don't know what they're doing, but I could use a little help with this. The technology has changed a little since my install back in 2005...

I'm currently getting 110, 119 and 121 through a Suoer Dish and two cascaded DP34s. Two lines feed the 921 and one line goes to each of the other 3 receivers.

I'm told by Dish that I will now also need 129 for the new mpg4 HD channels, and that my HD locals will also show up on 129 when they're available.

Can anyone tell me the right way to make this happen or maybe just what shouldn't be done?

If your site can "see" 129 then they will just replace the existing dish. If not ( like me) I had to install a second dist pointed to 61.5 which mirrors most of the stuff on 129. My 61.5 dish is about 100ft from the other dish.
